Really - you guys didn't like it? I thought it was a well made movie. This movie won't win the Filmware award for best movie (not even nominated ) but it's worth a watch.

The delicate psyche of the common person has been depicted very well - portraying the well meaning but blind faith we humans posses, that is so easily manipulated by unscrouplous elements in the name of religon.

I agree, the monkey part didn't fit in perfectly and it jumbled the climax - and seemed like an after thought.

Atul Kulkarni was in his element as the half-wit Gobar, and so was Divya Dutta - she works great in off-beat roles like this.
P.K. Dubey held his own ground as the inspector.
Rishi Kapoor didn't have a big role but he was great in every scene.
Sonam has improved tremendously since Saawariya - I think she'll do good in understaded roles rather than a full-on glamorous appearance.
Abhishek did what had to do. He wasn't bad at all - compared to what the poor chap had to do in Drona.
Aditi Rao, as the unmarried aunt, was good too.

I don't like Amitabh making teeny special appearances in any movie he can. That kind of ruined it along with the monkey!

And with that I think I've just written my first-ish review (of sorts) in this thread.!

Forgot -> good songs.
